Oddities
Despite the wad replacing Thy Flesh Consumed, its level title graphics and intermission screen background replace those of the first episode, Knee-Deep in the Dead. This is a workaround for a bug in Doom95, one of the two source ports with which this wad was tested (the other being ZDoom 1.17), in which the game would incorrectly display the first episode's intermission screen instead of the fourth's. The wad also uses blank graphics for Knee-Deep in the Dead's intermission animations to disguise this. As a result, Crusades' intermission will display incorrectly in any source port other than Doom95.
